Lyraxia,22nd of celestia, 542 ER( Late Afternoon)
As Janeth perused the ancient tome, "Tazz", a sudden spectacle unfolded above the temple.
A retinue of majestic sky vessels, adorned with heraldic symbols of wealth and status, descended upon the temple grounds.
These aerial carriages, unlike any others, landed with grace opposite the temple's ruined entrance, now lying in splinters.
From the lead vessel emerged a comely, youthful beast girl with a vulpine visage and alluring physique.
She alighted upon the ground with ease, followed by ten companions, each sharing her fox-like features, yet possessing formidable, muscular physiques, akin to those of battle-hardened warriors.
Their sturdy legs, broad waists, and fearsome countenances commanded respect, their red tresses cascading down their backs like fiery waterfalls.
The leader, a petite, ravishing woman with a nose piercing and dual earrings, wore a black, cropped tunic adorned with a crimson jacket, its material seeming heavy and opulent.
Her tattooed stomach bore the emblem of a love symbol, while her companions sported similar attire, complete with black, knee-high boots and red insignias on their jackets, signifying their allegiance to the Raddle Tempest.
Angelina, the leader of the formidable female group, halted their approach with a raised hand, and her companions nodded, assuming strategic positions around the temple entrance.
Some stood watch, while others waited attentively for Angelina's command.
Angelina approached the temple gate, her eyes fixed on the lock, once shattered by Janeth's hand.
She rubbed her chin thoughtfully, then squatted to examine the damage more closely.
Rising, she entered the temple, her followers trailing behind.
Upon entering, Angelina paused, her hands clasped across her chest, her eyebrow arched in contemplation.
Her thoughts whispered: "Who could have wrought such destruction? The lock, once unyielding, now lies in splinters."
Alerted by her companions, Angelina and her seneschal, a skilled and trusted warrior, walked towards them, parting to allow her passage.
Her countenance shifted from cunning to sorrow as she beheld Alisha, lying unconscious with a grievous gash on her cheek.
Tears fell unchecked as Angelina knelt, embracing Alisha with a mournful cry.
The seneschal touched Alisha's neck, sighing in relief.
Jinnie: "Angelina, she's okay, just unconscious."
As the tension subsides, Angelina's grief momentarily gives way to anger, and she commands five of her companions: "Satya, Winnie, Silvia, Anya, Jullocks - you know what to do.
Find that intruder and make them pay! Now!!"
She barks orders, her eyes flashing with intensity as she turns to face each of them.
They smirk with malevolent intent, then sprint towards the staircase like specters.
The five vanish up the stairs in a flash, bent on completing their task.
Angelina's gaze follows them, her eyes blazing with fury as she shouts and laughs, her voice dripping with malice.
"You've sealed your own fate!!! Ahhhh!".
Though fox-like Beastmen may lack brute strength, they compensate with cunning and agility.
The five sent by Angelina ascend the staircase with swift precision, their footsteps echoing through the halls.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Janeth startles, jerking upright from the ancient tome as Angelina's voice echoes through the halls.
Recovering from the shock, Janeth realizes she's too late and now faces a dire situation.
She smacks her forehead, knowing she must escape.
Quickly, she stows the tome in her satchel, locks it, and rises.
Janeth stands still, straining her ears to detect any movement.
After a moment, she hears the faint sounds of the five searching the upper floor for the intruder.
She nods grimly, acknowledging the danger.
With the warning and situation etched in her mind, she focuses on escape, scouring her surroundings for any means of egress.
Finding none, she steels herself, knowing the door is her only hope.
